Surprised not to read anything about offering classes to people who choose to live in these remote-work communities. That's the only reason it would appeal to me personally. I think a lot of people would like to take some graduate classes while working, maybe even get a degree out of it.
Our education system for things like computer science seem to be out of sync with the way that people actually learn. Not because they are too theoretical, but because there are some things, like computer science, where it's really impossible to internalize the practical lessons of learning about different kinds of software systems if you don't have some experience building software systems yourself. And this kind of experience takes years of working to develop.
